12 and 13 yrs. old is certainly old enough to call the cops themselves. If my parents had tried to put me in the trunk of a car at that age, that is exactly what I would have done.

One other point, how I wish that the MSM would quit calling these shack-up people formally elegant terms such as "fiancee". The idea that there is a marriage in the offing here is pretty ridiculous, given the charges. How many of the four kids are illegitimate? Now, there is a word that reporters need to blow the dust off of...

Agreed in principle, although since they were only discovered by a passersby when they stopped at a gas station, it could be because they were making noise inside the locked trunk and couldn't release themselves.

Also agreed, although I won't hold my breath, given the decay of 'modern' society.

My parents had 7 kids. We would have fought each other to be in the trunk.
